The European Platform of Women Scientists (EPWS) was legally established in Brussels in November 2005 as a non-profit organisation under Belgium law. EPWS calls for special attention to equal opportunities in science and science policy and encourages the maintaining and development of instruments to ensure the consideration of gender balance and gender mainstreaming in European research policy. The Platform has an international, multidisciplinary Board of Administration of high ranking women scientists of different disciplines. EPWS addresses networks from all disciplines, ranging from the humanities to natural, social and medical sciences and engineering and technology.
